The Future of Finance: What We’ve Learned from Fintechs

The Future of Finance: What We’ve Learned from Fintechs

FinTechs have revolutionised the banking industry over the past decade, pushing traditional banks out of their comfort zone and encouraging them to think harder about innovation, efficiency, and affordability. What some may have perceived as a threat to the traditional banking system has gradually developed into a symbiotic relationship between FinTechs and banks. During this session, we take a look at the journey of Barclays and their FinTech partners over the last decade, with the objective of reshaping consumer experience, and building on traditional banking ‘pipes’ to create new customer experiences for individuals and businesses. We also speak to SWIFT on its collaboration with FinTechs and some of the latest innovations that we can look forward to.
